Answer 2

As other people mentioned the phone jack is powered indepently from your house electricity. That is why you can still make phone calls when the power is out. Your phone wires don't have a lot of current running through them, but enough to give you a good little buzz if you touch them while they are powered. Go outside your house and look for the phonebox on the side of your house. Open it up and inside you should see a little wire that has a phone jack plug on it just like you would see at the end of the wire of your phone that you plug into the phone jack. Unplug that in the box and that will unplug the power to your phones in the house. Close the box back up then work on your phone jack wires. This will help you from getting shocked while working on the phone jack. Once your done working on the phone jack, replug that plug in the phonebox back in and reclose the box and you're all done.
